If you ever needed to borrow from the 401k with no penalties, you can once you reach $2,000. You can receive a 401k Loan which allows you to borrow a minimum of $1000 up to $50,000, and pay it back at your own pace over years. The money you borrow goes directly back into your account, even the interest. You can also get a hardship withdrawal if you qualify and meet certain criteria. However you will incur taxes & a 10 percent penalty. The only downfall is if you get fired you have to pay back the loan quickly, maybe 2 months. Also you will lose out on the compound interest that the account accumulates over time, so the smaller the amount you withdraw the better. You can still make contributions to your 401k & receive matching contributions from Walmart while paying back the loan.

The Best Part of the 401k is the potential growth with compound interest. As you save over time interest is built up and adds to your retirement account.
